How do I automatically host external pictures in WordPress?

Question:

I have a wordpress blog with a lot of pictures hosted on third party websites. I want all the pictures to be hosted in my wordpress blogs. I don’t want to manually download all pictures and replace them in the posts, i need something to do that automatically.

Answer:

Are you linking to images on other websites and stealing their bandwidth? Do you actually own those images that you want to take to put on your site? There is nothing that will do that automatically. How can there be? Think about it. If you turn on this magic plugin, what’s it gonna do? How’s it going to know what to get without you actually entering the exact path to the image?
